Dynamo Kyiv take on the visitors Shakhtar Donetsk in the round 22 match of Ukrainian Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, April 22nd at Stadion Valerija Lobanovskoho (Kiev).
The capital team still has a chance to climb to the second place in the table this season, which would be a good result considering the numerous mistakes made by Dynamo in the current season. Currently, the capital team is on a decent streak, having gone undefeated for three rounds. However, their opponents in this series were all from the bottom of the table, and they stumbled in the last round with a draw against modest Rukh, 1-1. Can Dynamo offer something to the Donetsk team now? Well, the teams are currently in different conditions, and Shakhtar is naturally stronger and more confident. In the first round, "miners" beat Kiev 3-1 back in October, when Shakhtar was not as stable in the championship as they are now. So, the prospects for the hosts are not very promising.

Shakhtar have already taken the first place from Dnipro. The spring part of the championship started with Shakhtar several points behind Dnipro. However, Dnipro soon began to lose points, while Shakhtar kept winning flawlessly. Moreover, the "miners" sometimes won very confidently, scoring 4 or 7 goals against their opponents. It is also worth noting that in 18 matches in a row, Shakhtar and their opponents have scored over 1.5 goals in total. The Shakhtar attack is in good order, not just with Brazilians, but also with local players who are very good by the standards of the Ukrainian championship, having scored over 50 goals in 21 matches. As for the prospects of Shakhtar winning this match, these prospects are very good, and Donetsk is unlikely to leave here without any points.
Dynamo currently do not inspire any confidence. Yes, the team is in decent form now, but this form is only against second-rate teams. They are unlikely to aim for a victory against the "miners". As for the outcome of this match, Shakhtar is responsible for this function, having scored over 1.5 goals in 18 matches in a row. So, I have decided to stick with the following betting option: X2+over 1.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Shakhtar Donetsk not to lose and Over 1.5 scored goals.
